A PHILADELPHIA MYsrERY.-Early We

A PHILADELPHIA MYsTERY.-Early yes.
terday morning Philadelphia policeman
discovered a mysterious looking bundle in
an alley off OF Buttonwood street, above
Eleventh When it was opened it was
found to contain the mutilated body of fe-
male child very much decomposed and ap-
parently only few days old. Both hands
had been chopped off above the wrists and
both legs were cut off at the hips. The legs
were laid alongside the body, but only one
of the hands could be found. Detectives
were detailed on the case, but SO far have
not obtained any clew to the mystery. The
police authorities express the opinion that
the child died a natural death, and the body
was dismembered so that it could be rolled
into package which would not excite sus-
picion while being carried to point whers
it could be disposed of.

ENGLAND AND EGYTT.-Since the failure
of the Anglo. Egyptian convention the affair
has been left in allegiance, but now it is as
serted that the English government is
arranging for convention again, which
will include France in the delbera.
tions between themselves and the Sultan.
This will be somewhat of victory for
France and rather humiliating concession
for England, although a necessary one to
make. France undoubtedly held the guild
ing rein cn the Sultan's movements when
Sir Henry Drummond Wolf, England's
stately am mbassador, was urging the Turk to
sign the convention last July. The pro-
posed convention, If successful, will deli
niteiv determine the political status of the
SueZ canal, the settlement of which, the
London Observer admits, is at the bottom of
the Anglo Egyptian policy. This paper,
however, fears that the proposed convention
will only complicate matters, and make less
disadvantageous terms for England than
now exist. 1t claims that it would be far
better to leave the affair as it is, IN Statu
quo, for this means at least possession of the
situation. On the other hand the conven-
ton can only result in the withdrawal of
EngIend's troops from Egypt, and the o.
Seruer thinks that no concessions that are
likely to be made can compensate for the
loss of dictatoral power. The truth sprob.
ably thet while considerations respecting
the canal are ostensbly the primary reasons
for the convention, in reality they have the
least to do with it. England long ago lost
her ruling power in this commercial enter
prise. aud no trouble is feared on this score.
Bat the true motives for the settlement of
the vexed Egyptian question will more tru-
" be found in the fact that England's power
in Africa is dreaded by France, and the lat
ter forces the English government to come
to some definite basis in the matter.
